How do I make a SysNand backup if I'm currently on firmware 9.6? I want to downgrade to 9.2, but want to make a backup first.

You'd need a hardmod to do that. Dumping the NAND requires ARM9 to be exploited, and we have no public ARM9 exploit above 9.2 (NTRCardHax doesn't really count yet, for those who might mention it).

Edit: That's slightly mistaken. We have firmlaunchhax up until 9.4, but that still won't help you.

Why would i upgrade to 10.6? Why wouldn't I just downgrade from 9.6 to 9.2?
because you are FK scared of brick your 3ds!!!!
if you failed downgrade from 9.6 to 9.2, and can't even boot up into home menu, force upgrade to 10.6 is your only options.(but, u need game entry for HBL on 10.6)

Taking a backup is always a good idea. Unfortunately, it just isn't possible to get a NAND backup without first getting to 9.2 or having a hardmod. Thankfully, if you are using the correct version of sysUpdater and the right 9.2 update pack, the risk of a hard brick is negligible.

The Sysupdater version you supplied would be the correct version then?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, He fucked around and found out.

    Lol Veho

    :O OMG. A Very EXPENSIVE way to find out :ohnoes:
